Palladium Books® Weekly Update – April 10, 2015

By Kevin Siembieda

We have been working at such a breakneck speed on so many projects (conventions and games) that we all lost track of the days. I think half of us thought it was Wednesday yesterday, which is why this Update wasn’t written and posted last night. A lot of this week was spent on Robotech® and convention prep. The Palladium Open House is coming up fast (only 5 weeks away), as is Gen Con Indy (end of July), with PenguiCon (April 24-26, Southfield, MI) in just a couple of weeks.

This week I had a couple of good meetings with Chuck Walton about a few upcoming projects he is working on for us. I also spoke with Mark Dudley, Mike Leonard, and Ben Rodriguez, as well as had conference calls with a few new associates and some brainstorming sessions. Excitement is rising as we get to a place where we can start making a few announcements. For now I’m going to jump into the immediate stuff and get back to work. I’ll be working all weekend, and most of the guys are planning to come in to work for at least one day over the weekend. Busy is the operative word. Good things are coming.

By Kevin Siembieda

My thanks to the multitude of friends, fans and associates who have been sending me birthday wishes all day long. Funny, I don’t feel any older. lol.

As I write this, high winds and a thunderstorm are washing over us. The lights have flickered several times, so I hope we don’t lose power before we send out and post this Weekly Update. We continue to work at a frenzied pace on many fronts, including Robotech® RPG Tactics™ developments, Rifts®, the Palladium Open House and many, many other things. Sales have been strong this week, with orders for Bizantium and the Northern Islands™, The Rifter® #69, the Robotech® Dice Bag, and pre-orders for a variety of upcoming titles coming in at a good pace. We’ve also gotten several distributor orders this week for Robotech® RPG Tactics™ and other Palladium game lines. But let me dive right into things.

UPDATE: Bizantium and the Northern Islands™ – Available now

Bizantium and the Northern Islands™ has shipped to everyone who has placed an order directly from Palladium Books, as well as to distributors. Initial reactions have been shock and satisfaction. This world book offers new dangers, new places to explore, new monsters and animals, new ancient and angry gods, villains, history, magic, adventure and fun. If you’re a fan of the Palladium Fantasy RPG®, you want Bizantium and the Northern Islands™. Take a look at the FREE sneak preview of it on DriveThruRPG.com for just a glimpse of this exciting 192 page book. Available now.

As I pointed out last week, author Glen Evans as well as Matthew Clements, me (Kevin Siembieda), Charles Walton, Mark Dudley, Amy L. Ashbaugh, Ben Rodriguez, Alex, Wayne, Jeff, Julius, and other contributors to this world book will be available at the Palladium Open House to sign your copy of the book and chat about creating books. But don’t stop there, bring any of your books to the POH for signing. No other convention or gaming event offers so many Palladium creators to sign books, and we are happy to do so.
